Say what?

Does anyone have experience with dictation software? I"m considering buying Dragon Naturally Speaking Home. I keep a professional blog (well, mostly I don't update the professional blag, and I should update it), and I think that dictation software would help.

I have Dragon NS 7. I have found that the effectiveness varies by machine and by microphone. If you want to use it seriously without a lot of touch up, invest in a good noise cancelling mic and make sure you run it on a fairly robust machine. As has been mentioned, the more time you spend training it, the better it gets.
